Nice Corrados!
I had a 2-liter Scirocco 16V for a decade. Lots of OEM+ upgrades - the 2-liter bottom end (sourced from an early Passat), euro bumpers & lights, "16V" side badges (virtually unobtainium), Bilstein/H&R suspension, etc. It caught the eye of then-editor of european car magazine, Les Bidrawn, when parked at our mutual mechanic's shop in Huntington Beach in late 2001. Wound up in a feature article that somehow didn't go to press till early 2005.
